Delaney & Bonnie & Friends on tour with Eric Clapton on CD. I've wanted this since I was in junior high school so today's the big day!

Fires decreasing? Well, yes and no. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/06/12/canada-record-wildfire-season-statistics/

Leon Russell - Signature Songs on vinyl It looks like it's fresh takes on earlier songs from his catalog.

That looks great! I always wanted one of those.

The wind shifted, smoke is back. I just read it's supposed to be this way, on and off, until September. I also saw yesterday had high ozone and you should stay inside. Of course, I did 6 hours of yard work - no wonder I felt so beat up.

It cleared up yesterday, I'm hoping it stays that way. I went out for a walk yesterday and the grass is crunchy underfoot - we could use a good day-long downpour. We'll see what happens, last Winter was weird as we didn't get enough snow to shovel, not even once.

MissouriPicker, If you do get a Godin please post your impressions. I was thinking about one years ago but never actually got to try one. I was afraid it might have that Seagull acoustic feel to it (cheap).

Yes, I order albums all the time from Amazon or eBay, no problems. A good record cleaning machine is a worthwhile investment. I was mistaken, I ordered two more Leon Russell CDs this morning, Gimme Shelter and Snapshot. Gimme Shelter are remixed titles/unreleased live recordings and Snapshot is basically a Best Of from his post Shelter Records work which is hit or miss.

I'm surprised, the Crankees are playing tonight. How greedy can you get?

I'd be surprised if the game isn't called off. They say by Saturday we shoud be in better shape here in the NE. It just looks really overcast out and the whole place smells like a campfire. Kind of worrisome as last week the town put out an alert to conserve water. I really don't want to see this area turn into crispy critters.

I'm 285 miles south of Niagra Falls and you can really smell the smoke. Those poor Canadians, those fires are gigantic.

That's disappointing on many different levels.

It's so exclusive I can't even find it.

The last of the Leon Russell CDs showed up today: Face In The Crowd, Anything Can Happen and Life Journey. That's enough Leon Russell for me.

Zappa's Munich 80 is poorly recorded and mixed except for the guitar solos. That guy could play! Jethro Tull's Living With The Past is very well done, it was nice to hear fresh takes on these old songs again.

I think she dropped the hyphen when she went punk?

What does the 34% and the 442 mean?

Badfinger's another Leon Russell connection. That guy was everywhere for a while.

The Concert For Bangladesh DVD showed up courtesy of a Goodwill in Georgia. It's outside being aired out, it has that distinctive Goodwill aroma to it - unwashed socks and moldy furniture smell.

I can't answer your questions but I'm pretty sure that model you're looking at is a satin finish, not a gloss. I went through that trying to find a TV Yellow Special many years ago - the seller was pissed when I sent it back.

Ordered some albums: Frank Zappa - Munich 80 (triple disc), Jethro Tull - Living With The Past (double disc), Delaney and Bonnie - Motel Shot and some 3 Leon Russell CDs: Anything Can Happen, Face In The Crowd, Carney That should hold me for a little bit. A new Zappa and PJ Harvey are being released next month so I'm looking forward to them.
